Best Denim Under $50

October 9, 2020

Finding denim that fits me well is something that I have struggled with since I was a teen. Typically for me, jeans are either too tight in the butt, too big in the waist, or too long. It has taken me YEARS to find jeans that fit me, and actually accentuate my body type. If you are like me and struggle with finding jeans that fit, then I hope this post will be helpful for you! I have rounded up THREE of my favorite places to purchase denim, and I will be sharing some of my favorite styles that cute and are also AFFORDABLE!

Walmart

I know this may be a shocker to some of you (it was definitely a shocker for me!), but DO NOT sleep on Walmart! Their clothing section has come a long way, and these high-waisted mom jeans are probably some of the best jeans I’ve ever owned. They have the perfect distressed knees, and they fit like a glove without me feeling constricted. I am wearing a size 11.

Target

This year was the first time I’ve ever purchased denim from Target, and I feel really late to the party. I naturally love most things from Target, so of course I would love their jeans! The 1st two pairs flare out a bit at the bottom, and I’m definitely a fan. I am wearing a size 10.

American Eagle

Old faithful! I have been purchasing jeans from American Eagle since middle school. They have been one of the only places that I can find jeans that fit me well. They actually make “curvy” jeans now, which is perfect for us gals who are a little thicker in the backside if ya know what I mean. They have the perfect amount of stretch, but still flatter my body. I am wearing a size 10.

Happy shopping!

    AWESOME!! I’m loving the fashion and these pictures are amazing. It takes miracles for me to go to Walmart these days, however I have noticed that Walmart.com has some trendy fashion these days. I love your overall style!
